Hi, I'm a new member and was really inspired by the hair journals. I will definitely be taking some of the good advice. I know this is a site for growing hair, but please indulge me one question about getting rid of facial hair on the neck and chin. I've tried tweezing, waxing and shaving and all I've gotten is black spots, but the hair keeps growing back. They say if we treat the hair on our hair too harshly, it won't grow back. But I've treated my facial hair very harshly and it keeps coming back. Why is that? Also, I'm interested in exploring permanent laser removal, but have heard that it scars the skin of women of color. Does anyone know if this is true? Or does anyone have any good home remedies for removing facial hair? It's all very frustrating and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, curly
